About this map

Sagers and Elba occupy a high-desert corridor where the Mancos Desert Central railroad cuts through the arid landscape of eastern Utah. This 2014 survey details a network of drainage features and flatlands that defined early transportation and settlement patterns in Grand County. The topography is dominated by wide basins like Sagers Flat and Elba Flat, which are carved by a system of ephemeral waterways including Bootlegger Wash, Salt Wash, and Pinto Wash.

Modern infrastructure exists alongside older routes such as the Old Cisco Hwy and the path known as Yellow Cat, reflecting the evolution of travel through this isolated region. The map provides a clear look at the Public Land Survey System grid, marked by township boundaries like t21s r21e and t21s r22e, which historically organized the ranching and resource extraction activities common to this part of the Colorado Plateau.
